The average sports television fan watches Speed Skating about once every four years, thus they need all the help they can get to fully comprehend the sport. Utilizing optical tracking technology, Sportvision’s Skater Tracking helps the viewer understand the location of the skaters on the track and displays speed data, time behind leader, and time behind Olympic and World records. Optical tracking is enabled by a complex configuration of cameras and mirrors that enables Skater Tracking to identify the skaters exact location in real-time, at all times during a race.

Skater Tracking is a mainstay on NBC Sports’ coverage of the Olympic Games and has numerous other applications throughout many other indoor ‘lane’ associated athletic events such as swimming and track & field events.
